The land of Kakhabad is a wilderness - a ruined desert, a tangled forest, cruel mountains and fissures, all guarded by seven fearsome serpents. But you must cross this land if you are to reach Mampang and the Crown of Kings. Rely on your wits or fight your way through - play with honour, or lie, cheat and steal - the choices are all yours.
From the creators of TIME's Game of the Year 2014, "80 Days", comes the third instalment in the acclaimed Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series. An interactive story told through thousands of choices, all of which are remembered, where no two adventures are the same.
Adapted and expanded from the million-selling gamebook series by legendary game designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux) and co-creator of Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone).
Using inkle's unique inklewriter technology, the story is written in real-time, built around your choices and actions.

I really enjoy this game but on ep2 and 3 i have encountered a problem, namely reloading if you die, it just takes me back to dead again with no other options x meaning i need to start again, maybe i should avoid death lol, would be nice i you could go two steps back rather than one x

A masterpiece by mobile standards, part 3 in a four part series. Though not required, I highly recommend playing the earlier entries before trying this one out. A Choose Your Own Adventure on steroids with rpg mechanics.

Combat was a bit frustrating at times, but overall a fun experience! Wasn't too easy, and wasn't too hard. Felt just right all the way through.

This takes a really strong start of the series and adds innovative new ways to tell a very engaging story. There are so many different ways to accomplish so many different things in this game. It's the kind of thing puzzle games should aspire to be.

Best game out of all 4 Sorcery! games imho - non-linear adventure focused on exploration, super interesting story, a good balance between magic and fighting and great replay value due to the many different choices you can make. Highly recommend!

If you have no memory of using a book to play this kind of adventure, I am not sure that my recommendation applies to you. Excellent adventure, quite long if you get lost looking for a certain ennemy. about 7 to 9 hrs of playtime, but a definite replay value.

Even better than the previous 2 games in the series. The time travel mechanic is very novel, a welcome twist. I found it's also more challenging than either of the first two in the trilogy.

Nostalgia is not the only reason this is the best in the series. I truly love the effort Inkle put to add another dimension into the game to challenge veterans. Has one of the most satisfying ends to the book. The seven serpents are a joy to find and kill.

Mostly the same great game as the first two. The beacon mechanic is a bit iffy though where sometimes the map will show something that isn't there and it's not clear if it exists or not.

Probably the best "choose your own path/storyline" games ive ever played. Didn't play part 1 or 2 which I regret now, but this 3rd one was excellent!! Played it through multiple times, totally different experience/story each time, progressively getting better as I made better choices. Downloading 4 now! Keep up the good work.

Sorcery! 3 is superb: it's expansive content justify its price and provide the greatest adventure of the series. After the quiet hills of Sorcery! 1 and the dense cityport of Sorcery! 2, this third installment feels almost daunting in scale, due to it's large map, packed with encounters that, due to some magical towers, can be explored in both present and past realities. I would recommend using an online guide for the best experience and remaining in the present as much as possible.

Well it took me only about 4 years and 3 phones, but I finally managed to beat it. I beat the previous two games in a day and it was a blast. Sorcery! 3, while bringing a very interesting extra feature in the form of time warping beacons, somehow never managed to grip me long enough to get even to the second beacon - until now. My cloud save stayed with me all these years as well, and I managed to zigzag my way through Baklands in two irl days... And 20 in-game. Onto Mampang!

Incredible fantasy experience, I highly recommend playing through the previous games and saving your progress to the cloud throughout. Sorcery 3 gives you complete freedom to explore the map unlike Sorcery 1 and 2 which are more linear-ish. Fairly long game experience depending on how you pace yourself. Really looking forward to continuing my character in Sorcery! 4 :)

I've been enjoying the game, but here's a big point of frustration as I play on the phone. Doing a No Beacon+All Serpents run. So the beacon on the Steppes is the only way to the lake, but Time Winds come there maybe once every few hours and its small and short in duration. Combine that with a phone's iffy interface and it's doubly difficult to go in time compared to the already frustration for PC users. Have much more frequent Winds and make them larger and longer lasting.

Great text based game. It's like a flowing novel that changes with each choice you make. Very challenging and I didn't get a perfect ending, but still reached the end and got a good ending

An incredible achievement. I have read Fighting Fantasy books for many years but have never played anything like Inkle's version of The Seven Serpents. It is like an extended remix of the original text with well realized characters, excellent plotting and intelligent attention to detail. Cannot recommend highly enough from a fantasy gamebook perspective. I suggest starting at Sorcery!1 and work your way through, the series really is a one off epic.

Should you play this? Did you like Choose your own Adventure books as a kid? This series is like the ideal version of those books, what you imagined the books to be in your mind. It integrates your choices smoothly, and I'm floored at how much love and detail has been put into the nuance. Strengths: good writing, great game design/programming, runs smoothly, consequential choices, wonderful world building. Weaknesses: a few of my choices left me at dead ends where I had to backtrack.

I absolutely love this game for the past year I have played them all non-stop trying to find every possible situation!!! I recently got a galaxy s7 active and now when ever I try to play the display is warped as if it needs to be played on a larger phone. It cuts off part of the game on the right and bottom sides of my phone keeping me from reading the story. I love this game and I'd love to keep playing it!!! Please fix this!!!

It is an impressive game with complex mechanics. The complexity is not just the input and output of the program, but the conceptual ideas as well. The game is truly impressive because I love how the developers bring forth the ideas of Steve Jackson and turn it into a digital game, which requires thought in improving and preserving the essence of the original story. For people, look up developers of the game and other games. You'll appreciate it more.

This was my favorite installment of the original 1980s gamebook dead tree version of this, and they almost completely remixed and rewrote it into something new with this time beacon plot. I should have hated it, but it's an improvement in almost every way. The classic Seven Serpents are still there, and even the grimy Dark Elves are there, almost completely unchanged. Add in that the combat system is better (duh, it's a video game, as fun as rolling dice can be) and so is the magic system... A++
